The College of Medicine partners with many community organizations to help improve the health and well-being of people in the Philadelphia area and beyond. Our civic-minded approach to learning and our emphasis on real-life problem solving is at the core of a Drexel education. Our students and faculty volunteer countless hours to address health issues by working at local clinics, managing educational programs and running outreach projects, while leveraging university technology and resources. Students also demonstrate service leadership and collaborate with local agencies to support and augment their outreach and success.
